In darkness I lay...

[elcie]

This is something that I found in an old notebook that I'd written when I was about 18 years old;

 

In darkness I lay,

 

the weight of ages pressed upon me.

 

I am nothing.

 

My small hand won't change the world.

 

My voice shall not be heard.

 

I am nothing,

 

and will return to

 

Nothing.

 

 

Why is it that so many young people feel at their darkest when life is only just beginning for them. Possibly it's fear of the future; of the unknown.

 

I only wish I could transplant my mind into my 18 year old body. There's so many life experiences that I would cram in between then and now.

I think you just feel your emotions very strong when your young and aren't experienced enough to handle it sometimes.

 

The experiences you've gotten between then and now...are sufficient!
